Wow, what layer of abstraction do you have that allows for that? Even with typical IaC, Terraform, it's going to be a rewrite. If you're leveraging anything beyond load balancers, compute, and containers I don't see how that approaches zero. Some of the services could end up with you having to build/run your own to get any equivalence.

Ford was in early enough that RFC 1918 wasn't a thing, and those address were used internally, using something else would have be rouge. If I recall Ford also had 20/0.0.0 at one point in time as a dev/staging network. Source: working at ford in 96 and they had been on IP networking long before I arrived.

Same with General Electric and the 3.x. It was sold it to AWS a few years back, introducing the burden of internal re-addressing.

Before cloud providers/FANG behemoths, these were some of the largest networks around.

Searched but couldn't find anything that seemed contextually relevant, what is mass interpersonal violence? Seems like it must be a code word for something I'm not familiar with. All references I see for interpersonal violence seem to be synonymous with domestic violence.

I use a pattern of somecompany@mydomain.example for everyone I deal with.

Never made any effort to determine if they were leaks or sold, but here are the ones I've had to send to /dev/null over the years due to obvious spam.

adobe, godaddy, ebay, sirius, vonage, dzone, snapfish, walgreens, US postal service;they just continued their model of selling physical address data into the online space. Seems to have been sold to typical catalog vendors, JC penny, crate and barrel, etc.

I was suspecting this was webex, I use an external audio device (plantronics/polycom Calisto 7200) that has an indicator when the microphone is active. It's only anecdotal, but for me when the webex ultrasound features is activated, the microphone is constantly active as long as webex chat is running. When the ultrasound detection is disabled, the microphone is disabled when not in a meeting. As an aside, this setting was reset recently, but that just seems like the ongoing dark pattern/incompetence of "forgetting" privacy settings between software releases.

We've had a year at this point to prepare. Was there any effort to ramp up additional temporary facilities? Is it ICU beds, equipment or healthcare workers where we are falling short? From what I've read, the need for ventilator seems to be non-issue due to early stage hospitalization protocol changes. Maybe it's not publicized, but it seems stay home was the only step A, with no step B. The time that bought us seems to have been wasted.

GE lighting(for consumers) died a slow death starting with the elimination incandescent bulbs. The twisty florescent were made in China on non-exclusive contract, Walmart and whoever else wanted, bought the exact same bulb. What it did achieve was elimination of a US workforce that was a growing financial burden with retirement and medical benefits. Make no mistake, they architected legislation to eliminate the incandescent. The price of the 60w equivalent CF was four times it's incandescent counterpart, and bulbs that still failed on a regular basis due to power supply design. This was the transformation to a marketing/design company, similar to most companies that put their mark on products today. With no differentiation, or passionate brand loyalty(for light bulbs!?), it's a race to the bottom..

They have all the data from the uninformed, ambivalent or defeated already. We develop things to crush the remaining resistance. Walled garden devices, cert pinning, signed applications, DNS over HTTPS, yes they are all more secure, but not for you. If well implemented, these serve as tools to make sure the privacy policy is the only thing informing you of collection.

It's amazing they are able to use local browser technology(via the popup login) to allow for using a public network as though it were private, virtually of course.

I worked 13 years under Immelts mediocre reign. Jeff tried to push rope, desperate knee-jerk reactions to stock analysts opinions, superficial restructuring with no real change to the company. GE leadership/management was vastly overvalued. Tech, and technical talent was a completely unvalued commodity, outsource to the lowest bidder in India. When he understood that software eats the world(via some SV guru whisperer) he tried to coin some "industrial internet" mumbo jumbo that was going to be a trillion dollar business. Out of touch like an unfrozen Dr. Evil.
